Amanda is a very stable and mature backup technology for all sorts of
different needs. Once setup Amanda can do anything you want
to do. It also supports a wide variety of devices.

It's a good way to impress a company/boss where a company has suffered
from less than robust backup/restore capabilities......

It may be overkill, but, a network backup solution is a good thing to
have. You can even backup a friend's machine.
